As opposed to people who only drink wine with dinner.  That’s like saying “are you an alcoholic?”

The DC area seems to drink a lot of alcohol and just serving wine and water at a formal dinner shows how normalized it is.  Some people don’t like alcohol and that is ok.  Telling them the only other option is water is pushing alcohol in my opinion which is irresponsible when you have guests that are driving.

We always serve wine, water (sparking and still) and Italian sodas.  It truly is no big deal to keep a 6 pack in the house for guests who don’t drink but don’t want to be stuck just drinking water all night.[/quote]

WTF.  Irresponsible?  Stuck drinking water?  This is bizarre.  Water is not a form of alcoholic shaming!! Water is so healthy and refreshing.  You must be OP, who thinks water is “dry.”  Actually, this whole thing seems trolling to me.  jeff?[/quote]

No, i’m a NP who loves my daily glass of wine.  That said, this thread turned into mocking everyone who isn’t a wine drinker.  I do agree with op that water is boring and when i’m driving I prefer an alternative.  Fortunately, all the dinner parties we go to have a nonalcoholic alternative to just water.  Yeah for me.[/quote]

I don’t see anyone mocking non wine drinkers.  Just OP and others who get offended when there aren’t numerous mocktails prepared.  I would never, ever shame someone for not drinking alcohol!  But to expect soda is kind of weird.  I am a Diet Coke addict but I don’t offer it on the table because people are more judge if you drink soda than wine nowadays![/quote]
